re: TACO Trump has saved 146,000 kids since becoming President in his 2nd term

The number is around 300,000 according to estimates. Your boi Brandon and his band of pedos led the biggest child smuggling operation in history. I’m sure you’re proud.

Same vibe as Pam Bondi claiming Trump saved 258 million American lives in the first 100 days with Fentanyl drug busts lol

This is actually a bit more realistic

Actually, this is the false right wing spin on the report. The Report said that the minors had not been served with notice of appearance before an immigration judge. The issue was service with notice. The kids were living with family and their caretakers did not keep the addresses on file current. Do you want to know how they were “found?” DHS knocked on the doors of the family members where the kids were living. This is another typical right wing smear and lie campaign

You seem to now be able to agree that they were found. What is the smear campaign and against who?


This is an interesting combination of fact and complete fiction. You are correct in saying that a large number received no court notice. Do you understand what that actually means? It means they were released with no follow up. No one was checking on them. They were never found because DHS didn’t go looking. Now DHS is trying to fix the issue. It is undoubtedly true that many were likely “safe” with family members. Some almost certainly weren’t. Over 30,000 were given specific court notice and never showed. What happened to them? Wouldn’t it be good to know? Does that mean they were all trafficked? Of course it doesn’t. Does it mean they are all safe and happy? Though I wish it were the case, it seems unlikely.

Rather than making unsubstantiated claims as you have done, I’m going to provide a link. It’s from the BBC. I picked this one specifically because it isn’t exactly a Trump friendly source.
BBC article

I added a large excerpt here. The bolded parts were by me. I’d strongly encourage you not to make light of something so serious to score message board points with bad info. This is much too important to politicize because you don’t like Trump.

When you hear the phrase 'missing', you think that there is a child that someone is trying to find and can't," he said. "That's not the case here. The government has not made any effort to find these children."
Many of the children, experts say, may well be at the addresses that are on file with the government, but were simply unable to make their court dates. "That doesn't mean something bad happened to them," Mr Reichlin-Melnick said. "It means you missed a court hearing."
Mr Reichlin-Melnick added that there are "valid concerns" about exploitation. "We cannot, however, suggest that all 320,000 of those children are being labour trafficked," he said. Eric Ruark, an immigration researcher with NumbersUSA - which calls for tighter border controls - said that the children are difficult to track "because of some combination of apathy, incompetence and bureaucratic inefficiency". "Many, hopefully even most, are safe with caring sponsors," he added. "But the Biden administration can't actually say one way or the other, and apparently doesn't care enough to find out."

So after a new administration comes and tries to rectify incompetence and bureaucratic inefficiency by locating 146000 of these kids to make sure they are indeed safe, and rescuing some who were undoubtedly abused and exploited, you somehow want to minimize that this is indeed a good thing? If 145999 of them were safe and with family, isn’t it still a good thing that they were accounted for? Are you really suggesting that it was “all good” to have hundreds of thousands of kids unaccounted for?

I think the issue is that it is difficult to believe. 146,000 kids?

It was a feature not a bug. Unaccompanied minors had special govt programs set up for them.

So if you brought over a kid, they get federally funding, which can then be used to pay the cartel.

Thats right your tax dollars paid the cartel to bring over a future hoodlum.
